Out of state?
Like Rhode Island?
Or like trying to cross into Canada?
This intersection is a
This intersection is a travesty! I bike here every week and this part is TERRIFYING. After this, after going over the bridge I'm going to get off my bike and walk it on the sidewalk to cross beacon st.
One comment?
Twelve hours later? Where are those who already had this man tried and hanged?
Awaiting more information?
By the way, your comment to start off the largely commented story was a good one.
I guess like yourself, I want to know more before judging. Being located an hour or two later in Rhode Island is a heck of a lot different than being stopped by the cops 12 hours later in New Jersey. Did he turn himself in or was it a case of people seeing the damage and getting a BOLO for a damaged truck?
The Silence Is Suspicious And Troubling
More than 24 hours after the incident, I can't understand why the authorities would still keep secret the owner of the truck and who was operating it.
Still investigating
Do you know who Richard Jewell is? That's why the truck's owner and operator hasn't been disclosed yet. It is better to find out exactly what happened before dragging someone's name through the mud.
If charges are filed, we'll find out names. If no charges were to be filed and names were named, the internet would keep the memory alive for years to come.
Because we have presumption
Because we have presumption of innocence in this country, there isn't yet evidence of a crime having been committed, and the state implying a person is a criminal without charging him is a quick path for a lawsuit?
There isn't??
1. somebody was killed by a truck
2. the driver and truck fled the scene
Last I checked, that's "evidence of a crime", said crime being "leaving the scene of an accident".
Crime?
Do you swell up and/or explode when run over? If not, you'd be pretty hard to notice if you end up under the real wheels of the trailer. Also, aren't you the one always kicking and screaming about stop and frisk? Carrying an illegal gun is a crime - guilty as charged, right? Or do those swirlystandards only apply when dealing with truck drivers?
Hit and run is a crime
Someone was hit. Someone drove away from the scene. That is evidence of a crime.
Your bullshit "comparison" of stop and frisk would only hold if any and every truck in the area was stopped by police and searched in a quest for a culprit.

I blame the city for creating death traps.
Grid Patterns?
I'd blame Euclid or someone else.
Good point DVDOFF
Because the guy valiantly turned himself in immediately after his rig was all over social media...
And what was the sequence of events?
I mean, you seem to have information that the rest of us are not privy to.
He's Being Sarcastic— There's No Report Of Such An Occurrence
Yes, yes
But as he is responding to Dvdoff's question to the mob ready to send the driver away for life, his sarcasm denotes that we should be judging the driver.
Good point, Beer Guy!
Truckers are well known for their enthusiastic use of social media. Most of them still communicate with CB.
If you honestly think this
If you honestly think this wasn't discussed on the CBs, you're delusional. Accidents with trucks are picked up very quickly and discussed.
I'm inclined to believe the guy was working and didn't hear about the accident, but trust me, if he had his CB on, he would have heard about it.
CB Is Social Media— It's Like Twitter, But Via RF Instead Of IP
